The event came ahead of yesterday’s announcement by Prime Minister Theresa May that she was postponing a crucial House of Commons vote by MPs on Brexit after admitting she would not get the deal through Parliament.

A spokesman said: “Opinion polls consistently show a clear majority of voters in most constituencies across the UK want their say on Brexit in a People’s Vote, and this was reflected in Doncaster, where 59% of Saturday’s ‘Brexitometer’ respondents want a People’s Vote when asked “who should decide our future?”

“As part of the government’s Brexit deal, we’ll lose all our rights as an EU member – with less trade, fewer opportunities, and lower living standards.

“People across the UK will lose the right to live, work or study visa-free around Europe. And following what would be the biggest single biggest loss of sovereignty and control in British history, we would continue to follow EU rules, but have no say over how they’re made.

Frederika Roberts, chairman of Best for Doncaster, said: “This was a hugely successful day of action, with over 140 events happening nationwide telling the government that we are not buying this dodgy deal.

“This deal satisfies no one and solves nothing. The only way out of this mess is to give the decision back to the people in a People’s Vote. Results nationally are supported by the results of every ‘Brexitometer’ we have held in Doncaster since July this year.”

In Doncaster, 68 people answered the question “What’s best for the UK?” and 61 people answered the question “Who should decide our future?”.
